KobolanderSegun: This Forum has seen better days. I was in a 2019 thread and I noticed more people actually read threads then. I think there is too much politics in the front page even though they have tried to change that over the course of the last 3 days. They will figure a way out. This forum is 20 years old and you don't do that long if you cannot figure out things.
franchasng: So our ladies doing well abroad should start helping our guys back home and at the same time help their own life too, it will go a long way in transforming Nigeria for good. When God bless us, it's not meant for you alone or you and your family alone to enjoy, it is meant to also uplift others. This has always been my motto and I can always beat my chest and say I have done well in this aspect and still doing with joy
Jesus Christ ,!!!! What is happening !!!! How can a man ask a woman for assistance. This country has no future. Is this what the Americans are doing ? Where did this level of Spinelessness come from ?
When our men should be on Google doing research to better their lives they spend all their time on TikTok laughing in comedy section
workchopNG: Good decision. Poverty no be joke... do everything legitimate to escape it.
Marrying a woman because of her money or her " connection " is the worst thing that can happen to a man...... That's castration..... He no get the balls to work hard and think hard.
If you can call him a man.....I'm not surprised so many men are supporting him. There are no men anymore.
KobolanderSegun: So giving advice is being like Jesus? I'm doing it so that they become aware of their thinking process. All these young men that want to use iphone 12 in Lagos Nigeria
Whether it's iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, iPhone 15, iPhone 16, iPhone 17, iPhone 18, iPhone 19 or iphone 20. ..... It's all the same thing. Just get an Infinix Smartphone and you will get the same apps running. Google play store even has more apps. But in Lagos Nigeria fake life is almost the norm so they will not listen to your advice. Better to use the breath for eating hot pepper soup.
Personally,once you come to me for help and I notice you're holding an expensive phone,I don't even bother myself to listen to any of your stories cuz I'll just know you don't deserve real help. Cuz if you really do,you should have known the difference between an asset and a liability. And when and how to dispose your liability in order to meet your immediate needs.
This is so true. Me I don't help at all. I just move on without saying a word. OP is always doing Jesus Christ and helping people. Even some of his posts are about Jesus Christ.
Guestmale: How does Ukraine war didn't stretch Russia weapons that it was America weapons it's stretching. How many missiles has America launched against Iran compared to what Russia has launched against Ukraine.
Based on recent 2025/2026 data, here are the top three countries with the highest defense budgets:
United States ($895B - $997B): Continues to hold the largest defense budget for global operations, technology, and base maintenance.
China ($266B - $314B): Focuses on military modernization, naval expansion, and high-tech weapons.
Russia ($126B - $149B): High spending driven by ongoing military operations and equipment modernization.
If you buy a 50 Kg bag of rice. Each time you take one derrica you are depleting the rice. Even Russia has depleted arms that is why they have gone into Iranian drones. And to show the difference between paper statistics and real time arms valuation, Russia has Cancelled their Victor Day Parade or have promised to remove all military hardware. Victory day parade is when they used to bring out tanks, nuclear missiles and such. They are scared Ukraine will destroy their weapons
Military Weapons run into millions of dollars per item so they always make sure they get their monies worth
KobolanderSegun: Naija men are really trying. They will buy iphone 12 to feel among then they will start begging people for soft drinks, bread, ground nut.
Despite my spending close to 5 years always showing my Vulcanizer how I am surviving in Nigeria by being low budget he does not listen and continues to spend his money anyhow then start begging me when he sees me on the road .
The other day I showed him a phone I bought way back in 2010 which I still use till this day. I tell him the reason why it always seems like I have money is because I spend my money very slowly.
I have clothes that are 20 years old which I still wear. Even though I'm into fashion I have clothes from back in the day. When my father died I inherited all his clothes some of the clothes go back to 1990.
Don't worry my father was very fashion conscious and the clothes are still very much in style and are of very good quality. My father travelled to 65 countries of which 22 were African Countries so his sense of style was top notch .
I keep on telling my mates in my Estate to save their money and adopt better maintaince culture so that things can really last and they save money but it all falls on deaf ears.
If you are in your twenties it's ok to live life fast but once you enter 40 you need to slow down.
Anyway when my Vulcanizer was begging today I bought him N100 biscuits, the lady of the shop said I should not have bought him anything that they will save their money and be pretending that they do not have. How someone is using a N250k iphone with another 100k android phone is begging is beyond me.
No today ? That is standard practice for so many people in Nigeria, live above their means then beg to stay alive
Willy2025: It doesn't make any difference to the already impoverished Nigerians. The bourgeois policies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have sent many Nigerians to irrecoverable and inextricable poverty. Except petroleum prices are reduced to something between #500-600,people are struggling to make even one meal a day.
Thanks for this because this is the reality. Why would anyone tell us it is now N1,350 ? As if that is tangible reduction. Had it come down to N1,000 I can understand that for making the news.

As I said Watch more YouTube. YouTube is the World's Number One source of Balanced Journalism. Aljazera, BBC, CNN, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens. Do you know that American VP Vance was Totally against the War ? Forget about Twitter and TikTok YouTube give the news from all sides. When I'm saying America has depleted alot of its precision weapons it's because it is from recently retired Pentagon or White House former Reps that are saying this. Or when Prof Marandi of Iran said on CNN almost a year ago Iran will hijack the straight of Hormuz. With YouTube the real power brokers are talking before during and after it happens. YouTube has changed probably because TikTok and Twitter were on the raise. I cannot waste my time on Twitter and TikTok there is to much they said that they said that they said. When people on this forum are talking from data sheets I know it's because they are not watching YouTube to get the info from so many different sources. So far America has spent 25 billion on the War with Iran , that is why Trump has cooled down because it can easily go to 250 billion. Why waste so much money when you cannot effect regime change. And Iran will take the entire region under because if you have American base .
KobolanderSegun: Omo Dem don even remove The Karachika from Instagram after she had reached like 500k followers. Just like that they deleted her page. These are the latest Sade Johnson pictures on Instagram. No more body pictures. Well it was nice while it lasted.
Yeah I noticed that the Karachika page was pulled off Instagram. I think this is her second page that they deleted. Like some 750k followers gone. But she is active on Twitter.
Guestmale: Self delusion. Why can't any of those second class upper world power go for the defense of Iran. A country that have up to 5k troops with state of the art weapons in just a single country outside it shores and have them all over the world like that, even in the next 50years I'm not sure if those three countries combine together can still face America.
Buy solid data and watch you tube. You're talking in a bubble The Ukraine War did stretch American weapons and Iran is also stretching.it. For me to break it down that is why businesses do not sell on credit so that they have liquid capital. Or why banks don't like loaning money in Nigeria, in this our world the winner is the one always collecting. To break it down further if you earn 5K Every day and spend just N1K you will have 4 x30 - 120k a month. If you spend all you have then you will have you will have 0K.
Even citizens from the best governed countries and with high standard of living still travel to other countries.
Saying stay to fix corrupt country is insensitive!
The problem stems from thinking we are some sort of Gods. we think we are special because we are NIgerian. We lack respect for the countries we go into, we behave any how in those countries. They should deport all NIgerians back to Nigeria to learn humility shame and disgrace. I have always said this would happen and it will happen. When going to another man's land play the role of servant not King. They will be crowning themselves king in another man's land. Imagine if you are a landlord and some stranger crowns himself king in your house.
Houseofglam7: Twitter became too toxic. Nairaland is becoming same and most of the intellectuals have bowed out.
My Lady you are an Intellectual and you are still here with us...... Let them go is what I have to say. I refer Nairaland to any social media , no pictures, No dancing, no struggling to get attention.
KobolanderSegun: Omo. They have caught me o. They have caught me. I have been using my six months old Smartphone to browse the internet There is this site that allows you to download 60 pictures a day on one browser but if you use another browser that the app was not built for you can download forever. This happens when the developer of the app or online site creates with only one browser in mind, security codes and other protocols will behave differently on different browsers.
So I knew it was not me, it was the browser so normal I just kept on downloading. Now I can no longer download with the other which gave me unlimited download browser. They did there browsing checks and saw I had been having a very good time on the site and have stopped me from downloading.
Who are the they ? They are everywhere, they are in browsers,. They are in search engines, They in email, they are in Smartphones,
Your guess is as good as mine. They caught me using my six months old Smartphone
When I first read the heading something else came to my mind . Yes it is true no two browsers behave the same
MaxInDHouse: Was Jesus talking to gentiles when he promised his disciples miracles?
Has God ever given a gentile power to perform miracles?
What happened to the churches saying they use to perform miracles during COVID-19?
Stop deceiving yourself!🤔
Oh you think the Jews are so special ? Your knowledge of spirituality is zero. Was Adam a Jew ? Was Enoch who did not die but entered Heaven alive a Jew ? Moses died, Abraham died, Enoch did not die. Was Noah a Jew ?
omoredia: I love all what is happening. I proves Trump's point. Africans are their own enemies. The tribalism that Tinubu has been practising inside he has how taken it outside.

Username2780: That's why I don't spend that much time on social media. They will wake up and delete your account for a frivolous reason and being Nigerian there is a X on your back.
Spend time on social media morning tonight when they are ready they will delete the account
